ANTRIM TRAMPOLINE GUIDE: FOR PARENTS WHO HAVE JUST BOUGHT A NEW TRAMPOLINE
-
Set Up the Trampoline Properly
Before your kids can start jumping on the trampoline, you need to make sure that it’s set up properly. The trampoline should be set up on a level surface and away from any trees, bushes, or other obstacles. Make sure that the trampoline is properly anchored to the ground to prevent it from tipping over.
-
Use a Safety Enclosure
A safety enclosure is an important safety feature that can help prevent your kids from falling off the trampoline. Make sure that the enclosure is securely attached to the trampoline and that there are no gaps between the enclosure and the jumping mat.
-
Limit the Number of Jumpers
It’s important to limit the number of jumpers on the trampoline at any given time. This will help prevent collisions and other accidents. Only allow one person to jump on the trampoline at a time. If you have multiple kids who want to jump, establish a rotation schedule so that each child gets a turn.
-
Supervise Your Kids
Never leave your kids unsupervised while they’re jumping on the trampoline. Even if your kids are older and more experienced jumpers, accidents can still happen. Make sure that you or another responsible adult is always present to supervise.
-
Establish Safety Rules
Before your kids start jumping on the trampoline, establish some safety rules. For example, you may want to prohibit flips, somersaults, or other high-risk maneuvers. You may also want to establish rules regarding the number of jumpers allowed on the trampoline at one time, as well as rules for entering and exiting the trampoline.
-
Use Protective Padding
Protective padding can help prevent injuries if your kids accidentally land on the springs or frame of the trampoline. Make sure that the padding covers all the springs and that there are no gaps or tears in the padding.
-
Use Proper Footwear
Your kids should wear shoes with non-slip soles while jumping on the trampoline. Socks or bare feet can cause slipping, which can lead to falls and other accidents.
-
Check for Damage
Regularly inspect the trampoline for signs of wear and tear. Check the springs, frame, and jumping mat for any damage. If you notice any damage, do not allow your kids to use the trampoline until it has been repaired.
-
Weather Conditions
Do not allow your kids to jump on the trampoline during inclement weather conditions such as rain, snow, or high winds. Wet jumping mats can cause slipping, and high winds can cause the trampoline to tip over.
-
Age Appropriate
Make sure that your kids are old enough and mature enough to use the trampoline safely. Young children should not be allowed to use the trampoline without adult supervision, and older kids should be reminded of the importance of following safety rules.
By following these safety tips, you can help ensure that your kids stay safe while jumping on the trampoline. Trampolines can provide hours of fun and exercise for your kids, but safety should always come first. If you have any questions or concerns about trampoline safety, don’t hesitate to contact a professional.
